Sydney Shepherd - Gypsy Life
At this point in our 2012 history, we were doing a lot of production work for the YMCA, NewArts, audition reels and headshots for actors, musicians and promos for community theatres. One of many recording projects that year was for Sydney Torin Shepherd. We never have to look far to find opportunities to brag about Sydney. She’s a perfect example of the autonomous, original singer/songwriter. Although she has a healthy fan/support base, nobody has to do anything for her. She’s self-driven and manages her own talent and skill. She acts, she sings, she writes, she’s well-versed on several instruments and never loses herself to the industry. She’s only influenced by her own desire to create art, ideas and communicate it all. That’s what it’s all about. She embodies what Hickory Arts encourages and teaches and we’re extremely proud to be a small part in her long journey. Here's a look back to June 10, 2012 at a quintessential everything artist’s journey with Hickory Arts. Hickory Arts—from penning to publishing, from promoting to performing, from inspiration to accomplishment. #hickoryartshistoryOriginal Release Date — July 25, 2012
"Gypsy Life" is the first EP by singer/songwriter Sydney Shepherd. Using banjo, guitar, dulcimer, cello and voice, Sydney weaves a soundscape that is at once dreamlike and raw, familiar and original.
"Gypsy Life" is a compilation of sensations, wishes, and stories... a love letter to dreaming and journeying.
